Thanks for all your hard work, Paul. I downloaded the BDI-4.40 iso-file 
this morning.

Since I'm a chronic nit-picker, how about embedding the md5 checksums 
somewhere on your webpages? That way I'll have increased confidence that 
the file I downloaded is not only a valid copy of what's on the server 
but also less likely to have been hacked by a third party?

Have you given any thought to using the torrent? I'd think it would 
lessen the server loading when there is a new release. For example, now 
that I've downloaded BDI-4.40, I could be seeding the torrent with it, 
just as I am with the Fedora Core 5 image built in VMWare by thoughtpolice.
